“Great.” Dustin raked his hands through his hair as he thought about something. "Now that I think about it, I clearly recall smelling the odor of decaying leaves, but I did not detect the scent of any lupus garous in human form. All I could smell was that god awful perfume Asta was wearing." Do you suppose the perpetrator was trying to conceal his scent by using hunter's spray made for humans?I'm going to inquire of Uncle Martin whether or not there were any rotting leaves in the neighborhood, and I'll report back to you. Now that you bring it up, I definitely caught a whiff of it. But do you recall the shade of brown I caught a whiff of?Since he was in wolf form at the time, he was unable to strangle her.“True. What are your thoughts on this Anton? Are you sure that we shouldn't try to get in touch with him?"We do not have any idea who he is in reality. Tommy is looking into the matter right now. What I want to know is whether or not she carried a bag with her, and if she did, wh
When you read it, you might find it more comfortable to sit down. "Asta has already shared the contents of the letter with me." He ripped the letter out of the envelope without even seeing that Lucas was standing behind him, craning his neck to have a look at what was inside. "Then you already know that your partner had a husband who is still alive," you said. Dustin snapped his head back and fixed his eyes on Laura, his expression indicating that he did not believe what she had said. Laura had an arrogant look on her face as she crossed her arms over her chest. He was well aware of it. The worst of his nightmares came true. Lupus Garous didn't divorce.They only mated again if they had lost their life mate or if they had discovered someone else who they couldn't live without. They were committed to one another for the rest of their lives. This meant that a female had never been sexually active prior to her first mating, unless she was a widow or had, in extremely unusual circums
Odin's teeth!” In a couple of bounds, he was beside her bed, digging hisfingers into the bag, trying to rip it open, his heart thundering. Before Akila was fully conscious, she felt she was suffocating, the room pitchblack, yet with her wolf vision, she should see clearly. She tried to move her hands, buther wrists were bound again.She could barely breathe as something pressed against herface. Something clinging and black. No oxygen. Blacking out. Where were her guards?Inside the room? Outside… Holes began to appear in the plastic as someone frantically tore at it and finallyripped it away. She gasped for air. Dustin's anxious face and the blinding lights of thea hospital room appeared before her, while he continued to tear at the bag. Filling her lungs, she tried to reach out to him. He paused while ripping the tapeoff around her neck, and took her hand and squeezed tight. “Jesus, Akila.” He didn'tsay anything more, just held onto her hand and gazed into her eyes. Lucas
Dustin and Lucas rushed into the room, their expressions horrified. Crap.“Odin's knees,” Dustin said, and Lucas echoed his sentiment. He and his brother hurried to pull the table off her. “We should leave her in the bed, restrained.” Lucas offered her a wry smile. Akila managed a low, feeble growl. Lucas raised a brow and Dustin had the gall to smile, although she didn't knowwhat he thought was so damned funny. If his arm wasn't so far away from her teeth, she'dbite him. “Oh no... oh no,” Laura said, hurrying into the room. “I shouldn't have left youalone for a second. Nurse Grey's coming in a minute. She was trying to revive Doc, who'spassed out in his office.”“Is he all right?” Dustin lifted Akila off the floor, but one of his hands slipped inside the gown opening at the back. His heated fingers pressing against her naked skin sent her temperature soaring, and the look he gave her made her sure it unsettled him as much as it did her. He set her on the bed and adjusted he
Lucas CURSED AND TOOK OFF RUNNING AFTER Akila'S cousin. Her heart hammering, Akila tried to climb out of the wheelchair, pain filling her chest. “Leave him alone!” she screamed. “Calm down before you hurt yourself further,” Dustin ordered, and lifted her flailing body out of the wheelchair and into the backseat of his SUV. “Get in, Laura, and make her stay put.” “But I was going to follow behind and--” “Get in!” he snapped, trying to keep Akila still. “Hell, drive the vehicle. I'll keep the hellion in her seat.” Akila struggled to get free when someone opened the other passenger door to the backseat of the vehicle and grabbed her arm. She cried out. “Mike,” she croaked. The poor guy's head stil bandaged, he gave her a toothy grin, but it looked like his struggle to calm her pained him, and she ceased fighting him. What did it matter anyway? She wasn't going anywhere, and Lucas was sure to catch her cousin since he was longer-legged and had a lot more strength in his movement th
Her eyes widened. He knew it. She shuttered her eyes. “I.. I don't know what you're talking about.” “What I'm talking about is this.” He pulled her from the couch and with one arm wrapped around her so she couldn't step back, he kissed her mouth with a gentle sweep of his lips. Her eyes fluttered closed, her heartbeat quickened, and she fell under his trance. She wasn't as immune to him as she let on.The stiffness in her body melted away, and he continued to press farther, his tongue stroking hers as his fingers touched her cheeks. The warmth of her body sparked fire to his, and he was consumed by it. She was his destined companion here on earth, God in heaven. She attempted to take a breath by slightly parting her lips, but the invitation was simply too much. He probed her mouth with his tongue while she clung to him and examined his features with her eyes. She had her hand on his shirt. "You are she," he murmured in an audible whisper. He demonstrated to her how much he desir
Laura loosened some of her hair curls that were piled on top of her head while aggressively nodding her head. "So, who exactly are you going after?" Laura grinned. “Eric. He is without flaw. Although he is ten years older than I am, when he wants to put on the charm, he does it quite well. And he's used to the flirting I do with him. "I can see you turning on a lot of wolves," Akila said with a smile on her face. “Yeah.” Laura ran her fingers over her unkempt curls. "I have a personality that might be a little bit playful. I suppose I ought to dial it back a bit." "That's not always the case. Just channel it." to the proper individual. Because Laura was so enamored with Bryan, Akila questioned if or not there was an underlying interest from Eric that Laura did not notice because she was so preoccupied with Bryan. This was because Laura desired affection from Eric.In addition, if Eric were interested in her, he would immediately lose interest because of the way she mooned over
Dustin sat in his favorite leather chair in the living room, motioned for mike to begin the brief meeting, he eagerly hoped for Bryan who was standing at the door of the guest bedroom to overhear everything Laura and Akila were discussing behind closed doors. "Uncle Martin called and said he's re-creating the crime scene in the hospital coffee drugging case. Also, Mike said, "Doc Oliver still isn't over the coffee. One of the lab technicians found that it was GHB, A date rape drug.. “Crap. Did you get fingerprints? “Tons. The coffee pot , but Unfortunately, everyone uses the coffee pot so everyone's fingerprint was on it. OK then. Have you got anything for me? Eric was serving pizza when Dustin questioned him. Carol berry wants to be a nurse at the hospital but I heard that you turned down her application to be a nurse at the hospital. She came to me to try to see whether or I not I could make an effort to persuade you.For the time being, my answer remains negative. She can alwa
